Max Beckmann, the German expressionist artist, expressed bitterness and starkness in his works. He painted this work called "Night" between 1918-19. In this painting, a group has attacked a house and treated family members violently. The influence of the First World War can be easily seen in the work "Night".

The First World War not only took all of Europe, but it also tragically ended the short life of Austrian designer, painter and printmaker Egon Schiele. In this design, which dates back to 1914 and the first year of the war, the body is designed with the same thin lines.
